Answer:

It asserts that African people are no less human than white settlers.

It contends that white settlers should treat African people more respectfully.

Explanation:

In Samuel Sewall's pamphlet "The Selling of Joseph", the author argues his case against the<u> discriminatory act of practicing slavery</u>. This pamphlet was also the very first anti-slavery text in New England.

As seen in the given excerpt, Sewall began to fiercely debate that the <em>"Ethiopians, as black as they are, [are] the Sons and Daughters of the First Adam"</em> establishing the fact that they are also a descendant of the first man on earth. And if they are from Adam, they are also the same as the whites who are also the descendant of the same Adam that God created and put in the Garden of Eden. So, the skin color of a person does not matter and it definitely does not determine what life he is to lead or be given. He also has the right to live the same life the whites live.

So, <u>Judge Samuel Sewall's assertion and his persuasion are that the African people are the same as the white settlers and that they have the right to be treated with respect too.  </u>

Christian wrote his version of a myth about Daphne and Apollo for his English assignment.
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

While both versions are told from an omniscient point of view, Christian’s version focuses readers’ attention on Apollo and the fore shadowing of the conclusion.

Explanation:

When we read Christian's introduction, it is clear that he focuses the reader's attention on Apollo, he told us about the bay tree and then he explains Apollo's role as a god and he told us the most important characteristics he had, for example: as became known as the god of archery, being a musician and poet, god of healing and one who foretold the future. He doesn't talk about <u>Eros</u> or <u>Daphne</u> that are the main characters with Apollo in the myth: "Daphne and Apollo—Getting What We Ask For or What We Deserve"? He also told us facts that later show the conclusion as Daphne turns into a Bay tree and <u>Apollo</u> always wore <u>Bay leaves</u> in Daphne's memory at the beginning of the introduction.
